Abstract
THERE are a variety of text-books of photography in the market, one of which is by Mr. Chapman Jones. On turning to the work under review, to our great relief it is found to be of a totally different character from the ordinary variety. It contains no formulae for developers or for anything else, but is what it professes to be—“a popular account of the origin, progress and latest discoveries in the photographer's art, told in non-technical language”—and is illustrated with excellent illustrations of pictorial art, and with some passable diagrams. The author commences with light and its effects, then continues with lenses, and follows on with a short history of photography told in a bright and readable manner.
Photography of To-day.
